Chapter 445: A Billion Dollars at the Box Office
Nanhai Film and Television.
Xu Nan is checking the data of the movie "Area 51".
How to say it.
The single-day box office of this movie began to decline uncontrollably, but the rate of decline was still within an acceptable range.
Xu Nan had expected this.
When many media reported on "Area 51", they exaggerated and came.
What broke the box office record for three consecutive days was hotly discussed on the whole network, causing huge discussions.
Or it is expected to break through the box office of 2 billion and create a new record for movies.
There is also the revelation of the secrets of Area 51 for many years, which has triggered extraterrestrial disputes
These reports look more and more exciting than the other, but if you believe you, you are a fool.
The media, of course, is how to exaggerate, as long as there is traffic, a little ant can blow you into a dragon.
But you have to know for yourself.
In Xu Nan's view, the movie "Area 51" was a big hit, and it still can't get rid of the luck factor.
The core reason for the success of this movie is that it stimulates human curiosity about the unknown, and this curiosity is released into the movie, which is the core reason for the movie's explosion.
Originally, according to his original expectation, the box office should be around 100 million, but he didn't expect that human curiosity about aliens was too strong, and a little luck caused this movie to be a big hit.
But this is only a temporary popularity, and in fact, the movie is very empty.
If you want to say that this movie is wonderful, you are simply deceiving.
The content of this movie is a college student who goes to Area 51 to explore, and the whole process is ghostly, shocking, and it is completely the movie version of approaching science, and there is no substantive content at all.
The only commendable shot is an alien, but it's only three seconds.
But the market is so mysterious, a movie that can't be called a movie, but the box office performance surpasses most movies.
is just like the big movie Where Are You Going, Dad, it is just an extended version of a variety show, but it has achieved good results that most movies dare not imagine.
This is the mysterious market, and no one can predict the tastes of netizens.
Of course, it is undeniable that the miraculous people of the country occupy most of the reasons.
If it weren't for this group of people in the United States who believe in conspiracy theories and aliens, the popularity of the movie would not be so high.
It is their passion for Area 51 and aliens that pushes the film to shocking heights.
But the enthusiasm will eventually dissipate.
Just like the Internet celebrity store and the Internet celebrity cat's paw cup, when the enthusiasm subsides, it will immediately return to the ordinary.
Of course, movies can't escape this rule.
Now it depends on how long the audience's enthusiasm can be maintained, and when the audience's enthusiasm subsides, the movie will basically be released.
But one thing is for sure, with the current box office trend, this movie will break one billion.
1.1 billion is possible, 1.2 billion is a bit mysterious, but there is hope, 1.3 billion, the probability is very low.
But don't forget, the film cost less than $50,000 to shoot.
Although the publicity fund is tens of millions, it is only a very small number compared to the revenue brought by this box office.
To put it another way.
It's already this result, what more bike do you want?
Anyway, Xu Nan is already satisfied.
And the box office trend of the next movie "District 51" is similar to what Xu Nan expected.
On the fifth day of release, the box office was 700 million.
On the seventh day of its release, it had a box office of 800 million.
On the tenth day of release, the box office was 900 million.
On the fifteenth day of its release, it was a billion box office.
Billion box office !!
It is not that there have never been such high-grossing movies in the history of the United States, but there are still only a handful of movies with such a high box office.
Directors who can make billion-dollar box office movies are extremely rare in the history of the United States, and each of them is famous, and some are even world-famous.
If nothing else, the film will be the box office champion this year.
Although this result had been expected for a long time, there was silence in the circle.
It's really a billion!
If it were someone else and achieved such a high box office result, there would inevitably be a lot of congratulations, but if it was Xu Nan, the insiders of this group of rice countries would always remain silent.
Of course, media coverage is inevitable.
"District 51" exceeded the box office of one billion, becoming the thirteenth film in the history of the United States to break one billion at the box office."
"Pseudo-documentary and viral publicity made "District 51" exceed $1 billion at the box office."
"The box office miracle created by the audience's enthusiasm for aliens."
"Will pseudo-documentary films become mainstream?"
"Brown, considered a billion actor of clones."
"There is a lot of controversy, mistaking it for a non-movie, why "District 51" can have such a high box office."
"The box office of "District 51" has declined seriously, and experts in the circle assert that this film will miss the 1.1 billion box office."
Lin Ziyi called.
"Congratulations, the box office has exceeded a billion dollars."
Xu Nan smiled: "It's just luck, to be honest, I didn't expect the box office of this movie to exceed one billion, I thought that if there could be 200 million, I would burn high incense." ”
Lin Ziyi said seriously: "Luck is part of strength, if it weren't for your fraudulent publicity, this movie would not have exceeded one billion dollars, and your talent is the main reason why this movie broke through one billion dollars at the box office." ”
Xu Nan smiled.
That's a comforting thing to say.
Lin Ziyi said again: "By the way, the box office exceeded one billion, which is a great joy, and you can hold a celebration banquet and invite some heavyweights to participate." ”
"This is a good opportunity to establish your position, what are your plans?"
Xu Nan shook his head: "Forget Ziyi, the celebration banquet will not be held, there is no need for that." ”
Lin Ziyi was a little surprised: "Why not, a celebration banquet can not only announce the success of everyone's movie, but also play a certain role in stimulating the box office of the movie." ”
"The most important thing is that you can contact many heavyweights to eliminate the gap between you and the entertainment industry in the United States."
Lin Ziyi is a keen person, she has long seen the incompatibility between Xu Nan and the entertainment industry of the United States.
There are many reasons for the disagreement, Xu Nan's foreign identity, his style of acting, and his film genre, etc.
In Lin Ziyi's view, it is not a good thing to let this kind of estrangement exist, in the United States, it is not feasible to be alone, it is better to integrate into the collective.
It seems good to be independent after leaving the world, but once something happens, it is an inevitable result that the wall will fall down and everyone will push it.
The wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, and the line is higher than the people, and the people will not be it.
Being too exclusive is not a good thing.
Xu Nan smiled: "Forget it, Ziyi, it's really unnecessary." ”
Of course, he has long seen the estrangement between himself and the entertainment industry in the United States, in China, people in the entertainment industry think that he is reckless and hateful, but in the United States, this group of people hate him, attack him, and even want to destroy him.
Just because he is a foreigner, he slapped many directors in the face, and at the same time his bizarre success, there is a group of people who want him to die immediately in the next second.
Human malice is often unjustified and extremely dark, and there is no need for a special reason, just the simple reason that you are an outsider.
If Xu Nan really plans to stay in the United States for a long time, then he really has to find a way to integrate into the entertainment industry of the United States, at least he can't let them reject him so obviously, otherwise something will happen one day.
But he doesn't plan to mix in the United States for a long time, so there is no need to be hypocritical with the people of the United States, just be quiet and be yourself.
This is not his hometown after all, and there is no need to forcibly integrate in.
Lin Ziyi didn't know Xu Nan's thoughts, she just felt sorry for Xu Nan.
This is a good opportunity, but Xu Nan is unwilling.
There is nothing she can do, and there is no way to disobey Xu Nan's wishes.
Twentieth day after the release of "Area 51", the single-day box office fell to less than $5 million, and Xu Nan chose to release it and sold the online broadcast rights to Netflix.
In fact, if Xu Nan is willing, the movie can still be released for a period of time, and maybe the box office can exceed 1.1 billion US dollars.
But Netflix was willing to pay a lot of money to buy Xu Nan's movie streaming rights, and after Xu Nan calculated the benefits, he still decided to release it.
Since you make more money by releasing it in advance, why not release it in advance.
It is worth mentioning that when Xu Nan's "District 51" was released, the movie "Western Story", which competed with him at the same time, exceeded 300 million US dollars at the box office.
This is indeed a classic movie, and even the miracle "Area 51" did not completely overshadow the light of this movie.
But it's a pity that this movie was unfavorable and met "Area 51", which led to the box office rising in the later period.
In the final analysis, it's still to blame Spielberg for having to be iron-headed, if he hadn't had been iron-headed, it wouldn't have been like this.
At the same time, it can also be seen that the movie "Area 51" is against the sky, an absolute classic movie, and it is still suppressed.
It can only be said that the United States is a magical land, and anything can happen.
What's more, after being beaten up by society, Spielberg should not be iron-headed in the future, and he will not be stupid enough to think that as long as the quality of the movie is good, he can kill everything in seconds.
On this day, Xu Nan accepted the invitation of a TV program, which is the most famous talk show in the United States, the Mi Country Show.
The popularity of this TV show may not be very high, but its status is not ordinary, it is quite an interview with domestic CCTV, and those who can go up are not ordinary people.
Being able to be on this show means that Xu Nan's status in the United States has made an obvious breakthrough, otherwise he would never be able to be on this show.
Xu Nan was actually ready to return to China, but after thinking about it, he decided to go on this show, just as a farewell.
Ye is brilliant all the way in the United States, and he must not go plainly.
Before leaving, I have to let you know what it means to be strong.
The host of Mi Guoxiu's name is Vincent, and he is an elegant and personable person, and when he is with him, he will feel very relaxed.
No wonder he was able to host this famous show.
The scene of the show.
After the opening remarks.
Vincent asked: "Mr. Xu Nan, I'm curious, why did you, a Chinese person, come to the United States?" ”
